I just came up with a script that is basically a command-line frontend to the Blender exporter scripts. They are still required to be enabled in the input Blender files, since this script calls them. It's useful for exporting multiple objects at once, without being slowed down by GUI elements. However, this advantage comes at a cost: It is not possible to select individual objects to be exported; all objects that are not marked as 'ignore' or having 'hide_render' are exported.
I hope this script proves to be useful to some, as automation can save a considerable amount of time.
